The six-bedroom house at 9 Brown Pelican Road was finished this year on an oceanfront parcel in the South Beach area of the Sea Pines Resort, and it carries nine baths, an elevator and covered parking for as many as eight vehicles behind a reported 7,000 square feet. It was the highest-priced of five reported home sales in the Hilton Head Island, South Carolina metro area for the week ending September 6, 2026, a group that combined for $31.76 million.
All five closings were on Hilton Head Island itself, and they gather in three of the island’s established communities: Sea Pines, the gated Wexford community and Palmetto Dunes. The week’s range runs from a 2026 oceanfront residence to a 1996 oceanfront villa and a 1993 house remodeled a short walk from the beach, and the properties include waterfront estates, a harborfront home with a private dock and a top-floor point condominium.
